Planning a wedding in Berkshire? One of the best ways to relive your big day for years to come is with a beautifully crafted wedding film. At Omorfi Pictures Wedding Films, we believe every love story deserves to be told with care, creativity, and perfect timing.
That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you plan the ideal wedding video timeline — from morning prep to golden hour and beyond.
Whether you're getting married at a country manor, rustic barn, or elegant hotel in Berkshire, this timeline ensures we capture every unforgettable moment.

💄 1. Getting Ready – Start the Story Strong
Recommended Coverage Time: 1.5 to 2 hours
Suggested Start: 8:30–10:30am (for a 2pm ceremony)
We always recommend starting your wedding videography coverage with the getting-ready moments. These quiet, emotional scenes set the tone for your wedding film — from dress reveals to personal letters and final touches.
💡 Berkshire Tip: Choose a naturally lit room for prep. Many Berkshire venues like Wasing Park, The Vineyard Hotel, and Ufton Court offer stunning bridal suites with soft light — perfect for capturing cinematic detail.
💌 2. First Look (Optional but Magical)
Recommended Time: 20–30 minutes
Suggested Time: 11:30am–12:00pm
A first look video is a private, emotional moment before the ceremony where the couple sees each other for the first time. At Omorfi Pictures, we love capturing the raw reactions, happy tears, and anticipation.
📍 Popular Berkshire backdrops include tree-lined paths at Wellington Country Park or romantic gardens at Cliveden House.
💒 3. The Ceremony – Capturing Your Vows in Full
Coverage Time: 30–60 minutes
Typical Time: 2:00–3:00pm
This is the heart of your wedding film. We use multiple cameras and discreet audio gear to record your vows, reactions, and the energy of the moment.
📌 If you’re planning a church wedding in St George’s Chapel, Windsor, or a civil ceremony at a Berkshire registry office, let your officiant know that Omorfi Pictures will be there filming — and we’ll handle the rest professionally.
🚁 4. Drone Footage – For That Cinematic Edge
Time Needed: 15–20 minutes
Best Times: Early in the day and at golden hour
Our wedding video packages include aerial drone footage, weather and venue-permitting. Nothing compares to those sweeping shots of your venue from above.
📷 Berkshire is perfect for this — from the countryside views of Lillibrooke Manor to the scenic grounds of Easthampstead Park.
✅ Bonus Tip: We handle all drone permissions and safety clearances, so you don’t have to worry.
🌅 5. Golden Hour Couple Session – The Signature Look
Coverage Time: 20–30 minutes
Suggested Time: 6:30–7:00pm (varies by season)
Golden hour is that magical moment just before sunset — perfect for those dreamy, cinematic couple shots that Omorfi Pictures is known for.
🧡 This soft, golden light adds warmth, intimacy, and visual beauty to your wedding film. Let us whisk you away for a few minutes — trust us, it’s worth it!
🎤 6. Speeches & Reception – Let the Emotions Flow
Coverage During: Dinner or early reception
The speeches offer rich emotional content for your wedding video story arc. Whether funny, heartfelt or tear-jerking, we capture the best sound and guest reactions to weave into your film.
📢 We bring our own professional mics and audio recorders — so your vows, laughter, and tears come through crystal-clear.
💃 7. First Dance & Evening Celebrations
Coverage Time: 30–45 minutes
Your first dance, cake cutting, and party moments bring your wedding film to life. At Omorfi Pictures, we stay through the key events and capture your guests celebrating in full swing.
💫 Want something extra special? Add a sparkler exit or a private last dance to end your film on a high.
📋 Bonus: Add Buffer Time
Even the best wedding plans run slightly late — so we always build in time cushions for outfit changes, travel, or a few deep breaths. We’ll help you design a stress-free video timeline that works seamlessly with your photographer and venue.
